Morning Brewers,

I've been searching the interwebs about fruit additions (frozen, puree, fresh ect) to secondary fermentation. I am curious on others successes / failure and approach to doing this.

Lots of results! depends on the beer, fruit, have you killed off the yeast, or do you want the yeast to consume the sugars? etc. Any particular recipe or addition you've got in mind?

Currently still developing the recipe. however, base recipe would be a sessions IPA. Currently fermenting one with a couple different yeast strains to see which I like best. Currently still bottle conditioning here- so I wouldn't be able to kill off all the yeast, as some are needed for natural carbonation. I want to experiment with couple pairings 1) orange + mango 2) pineapple + Jalapenos.

Jeff- Interesting, thanks for sharing. I think this will be something I first attempt on a smaller scale, sale 2-3 gallons and then scale once acceptable results are reached.

Pretty sure most of the available flavorings aren't fermentable, I would be concerned adding much fruit to a bottle conditioned beer as you won't have a way to account for the fructose addition, as well you'll lose the sweetness. Many ways to kill of the yeast to allow for the back sweetening, but that won't help you to carb, if you let the yeast consume all the sugar before bottling you'll lose some of the additions flavor, but may still be good.

dtapke: All valid points! Will have to conduct some experiments... or not get as picky with my craiglist finds (unlikely) and convert to keging. thanks for your feedback
